[Tutor] python cgi single double quotes

Wed Jul 20 04:23:12 EDT 2016

Hi Alan,

vimal at Ubuntu-1404-trusty-64-minimal:~$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.version
2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2]
>>>

Should I test the above from within html code too ?

Also, for testing and configuration purpose, I have set 755 / 777
permissions to dir / files respectively.

Thank you,

Nitin Chandra
